We just got through with a mini heat wave here, I don't think I'm cut out to live someplace where it gets +95 regularly. At least not with the high humidity we also get with it.


Many places in the Southern US will have 95+ degree days for more than 4 months/year
Far more hot days and air conditioning (and thus less vitamin D) later this century


In 50 years more power will be used for Air Conditioning than for heating
Far more hot days and air conditioning (and thus less vitamin D) later this century

Then a drifter showed up and offered to build the spiral staircase, and did so without a single nail or screw. And that he left without ever accepting payment. At least, that's what I recall about 44 years later...

When those stairs were built the "master carpenter" did NOT put a hand rail on them. Many of the nuns would go up or down on their hands and knees in complete fear. The handrail was added later.

From an article in Skeptical Inquirer:

The staircase does have a central support, an inner wood stringer of such small radius that it "functions as an almost solid pole." As well, Nickell observed when he visited Loretto in 1993 that the structure includes an additional support, "an iron brace or bracket that stabilizes the staircase by rigidly connecting the outer stringer to one of the columns that support the loft." Nickell concluded: "It would thus appear that the Loretto staircase is subject to the laws of physics like any other."




This need more support!
